Ordláf was a son of Orodreth in the early versions of the legendarium.[1] Nothing else is known about him.
Etymology
The name Ordláf is in Old English, since it was translated by Ælfwine, but no Elvish equivalent is given.[1] In modern English, this could mean "Spear-remainder" ("ord" meaning "spear",[2] and "láf" meaning "remainder"[3]).
